I see people post about using BB shot. What size is it? Also, I don't hear anything about shot size between #4 & 00. Is there such a thing as #3, #2, #1, or 0 shot? I'm kind of a novice when it comes to shotguns & I want to learn as much as I can.
I recently bought a New England Firearms (H&R) "Pardner Pump". It's a 12-guage with a 3" chamber & an 18.5" barrel. I paid $169 & was suprised by the fit a finish for the price. That's kinda the reason I bought it (other than the obvious need for a HD weapon). It also came with sling studs & was drilled for a scope mount, as well. Both of which usually aren't found on inexpensive shotguns. It's been flawless thru about 50 rounds. I'm really beginning to like this gun.
One thing I've found thru my plinking so far is I'm almost convinced shotgun slugs are the way to go for HD as far as stopping power. A 1-oz. projectile at about 1200-1300 FPS is pretty impressive (2.75" shell). Anyway, I'm curious about my original questions & would appreciate any & all help.
